Abstract
This article presents suggestions regarding how the statistical coding of the deaths from the September 11 terrorist attacks should be done using ICD external cause of injury codes and FBI UCR codes. The National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) records deaths in the U.S. based on the 10th Revision of the International Classification of Diseases and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), with its Uniform Crime Reporting Program (UCR), records deaths reported by state and local law enforcement agencies as murder and non-negligent manslaughter and justifiable homicides of felons by law enforcement and civilians. The author recommends that the NCHS and the UCR should classify the deaths as war related.
